Corey has gone from the skateboard/BMX bike look to whatever the jocks on the wrestling team is into (not the same stuff the football team was into though). Even down to changing the type of underwear he wears. <br /><br />That hat is a symbol. Its his Samson hair. Just look at the portrait. Comes clearly to me what is inside, just dying for the courage to come out!! You are in for it with the girls. They call at all hours now, you know.<br /><br />Great post Susan.
